The second generation (Generation II) of the Pokémon franchise features 100 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 1999 Game Boy Color games Pokémon Gold and Silver, set in the Johto region. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before Gold and Silver, such as Togepi, which was a recurring character in the Pokémon anime series in 1998 and 1999, Donphan in the Pokémon first movie in 1998, Snubull in the first Pikachu short movie in 1998 and Marill, which was a recurring character in the anime in 1998 and 1999.

The following list details the 100 Pokémon of Generation II in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, , is number 152 and the last, Celebi, is number 251. Alternate forms that result in type changes are included for convenience. Mega evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the generation in which they were introduced.

Two new types were introduced in Pok̩mon Gold and Silver Рnamely the "Dark" and "Steel" types Рwhich were intended to better balance the gameplay of Pok̩mon battles. Dark and Steel types fare well against "Psychic" attacks, which was a dominant type in Red and Blue. The concept of breeding was introduced in the second generation of Pok̩mon games as well, which allows players to manipulate the skills of their Pok̩mon to a greater degree. Some of the new Pok̩mon introduced in Gold and Silver are pre-evolutions of other Pok̩mon, such as Pichu and Igglybuff. These baby Pok̩mon are only available by breeding their evolved forms.

Pokémon Gold and Silver were first revealed at Nintendo Space World in 1997. At this point, the game had a massively larger world map than the final game and this prototype featured around 40 Pokémon designs that were removed and replaced when the games were released in 1999.

Tyranitar has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
